Blooming Bath

It is amazing how different your children can be. My first two boys LOVED bath time. We just had a basic baby tub that we used to give them baths in but with our third son bath time is a struggle to say the least. He HATES having a bath whether its in the sink, baby tub, on the counter, any kind of bath he hates. So when I seen Blooming Bath I thought I would love to try it out and see if it helped my little guy over come his major dislike of baths. Blooming Bath sent me this super cute Yellow flower to try out with my little guy. Isn't it cute?

The back of the flower is a mesh type of material so water can easily flow through it.

The front of the flower is made with a super soft minky material and the center has the minky dot which makes this look like a super cute sun flower.

There is a tag on the back of the flower that has a lot of information on it. (Always keep hands on baby while using, washing instructions, and other great info to know while using it.) The tag can also conveniently be used as a way to hang up the flower to dry!

Here is the Blooming Bath in our sink. If fits in there pretty good. We don't have a huge sink, just an average apartment size sink. I just layered the petals overlapping each other.

After the baby is finished with the bath you can just pull all the petals toward the middle of the flower and then squish out the water. You will not be able to get all the water out so if you wanted you can either hang the flower up to dry or you can toss it in the dryer.

Here is our large doll modeling the blooming bath. This doll is about the size of a 4 month old. Its pretty big. I didn't want to take pictures of my little guy getting a bath so you get the picture of the doll. We did use Micah in the Blooming Bath in the sink and he did better than normal. He was still hesitant but didn't scream like normal. He fit in the Blooming Bath great as well. He is able to sit up very nice in it.

I then tried out the bathroom counter for our next Blooming Bath. Micah has really bad cradle cap so I was just doing a hair washing for this one which is why he has on his jammies still. While washing his hair with coconut oil and scrubbing, rubbing and stratching off his cradle cap Micah became very content and peaceful and fell asleep in less than 5 minutes. I can say that this was a huge huge surprise so I made my hubby get the camera and take some pictures. (Don't worry! It looks like I just left him on the counter but I was standing just outside of the picture by his feet holding on to his toes while we took the picture!)

We have also tried out the Blooming Bath in the big bath tub which went okay. Micah's two big brothers were sitting on one end helping entertain him but he was still a little scared of the bath but he was way better than normal. He loved to reach down and feel the Blooming Bath. Its nice to have the warm, soft flower for him to sit on rather than the cold tub, sink or counter (even with a towel under him its still not very comfortable).

I like the yellow, I'm all about gender neutral! I had seen this before but didn't really get the point, now it seems like it might be neat, very comforting for a young baby. I am expecting my first soon so no tips to share!

Was leaning towards blue but I have to say I really like the Ivory one.

I've had to try different tricks with every kids. Seems like all of them around age 1yr just suddenly hated bath time. One was scared of the drain in the tub, one hated bubbles in the water, and one just didn't want to get clean. For all of them I've found bath toys to be the cure.
